HM Pandas Ref.1LCAP.B03A.C111A

The panda holds revered status in Chinese cultural history. It
has served as a symbol of goodwill and helped cement relationships
with other countries. When China entrusts pandas to international
zoos, it does so as an expression of trust and confidence. With
this meticulously finished special edition, Arnold & Son pays
tribute to a very special bear.

The highlight of the HM Pandas edition is a sumptuous, 22-carat
solid white gold hand-engraved appliqué of two pandas, which has
been duplicated for the series. Created by a craftsman selected for
his skill in the traditional art of hand engraving, it features two
perfectly sculpted figures with a breathtaking richness of detail
and an illusion of depth that contrasts starkly with the ultra-slim
case. The detail on the dial is completed with a miniature hand
painting of bamboo leaves and grass which likewise calls for
infinite patience and consummate skill. The case is available both
in 18-carat rose gold or 18-carat white gold and with a diamond-set
bezel.

The watch is powered by the A&S1001 movement, which is just
2.7 millimetres thick and manufactured entirely in-house. Its twin
barrels, which generate a 90-hour power reserve, guarantee a more
constant force and in turn a more constant rate and greater
accuracy. All the plates and bridges in the movement are
hand-chamfered and decorated - a further indication of the
traditional craftsmanship and Haute Horlogerie upheld by Arnold
& Son throughout the company's long history.
